De-icing work car park

Have a look at the Direct.gov page

There's no law stopping you from clearing snow and ice on the pavement outside your home or from public spaces. It's unlikely you'll be sued or held legally responsible for any injuries on the path if you have cleared it carefully. Follow the snow code when clearing snow and ice safely.

If you clear snow and ice yourself, be careful - don’t make the pathways more dangerous by causing them to refreeze. But don’t be put off clearing paths because you’re afraid someone will get injured.

Or a report in the Portsmouth News

PEOPLE can clear snow-covered pavements and roads without fear of being sued.

It never was the case, just the usual media hype that a lot of gullible people seem to believe.
